About the Author:

Judith Fertig is an established cookbook author who has studied at the Cordon Bleu in London and La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine in Paris. She is one of the BBQ queens and author of The Gardener and the Grill, Patio Pizzeria, 500 Cupcakes and I Love Cinnamon Rolls!, among many others. She lives in Kansas City, Missouri.For Fertig, flavor is another way to tell a story, whether it is fiction, food and lifestyle articles, or cookbooks.The Cake Therapist debuts a talented and specially gifted pastry chef who actually "sees" people as a constellation of flavors: perhaps social white chocolate because it gets along with other flavors, witty apricot, take-charge coffee, homesick pomegranate, and more. Through rhubarb and horseradish and homemade butter, Fertig told the story of Midwestern food in the beloved and best-selling Prairie Home Cooking, which was nominated for James Beard and IACP Awards and won the ForeWord Award. Saveur Magazine dubbed her a "heartland cookbook icon." Heartland:The Cookbook is a gorgeously photographed, coffee table format.Bake Happy, her new cookbook, celebrates the "So Happy Together" flavors like companion plants: orange and passion fruit, strawberry and rosewater, blueberries and cardamom. And, of course, building flavor is the mantra of all successful barbecuers. Fertig's latest barbecue book, with Karen Adler, is a mash-up of French recipes and American grilling in BBQ Bistro.
